This 1931 Chevrolet is a five-window coupe that was acquired by the seller’s father in the 1990s, and subsequent work involved repainting the steel body and installing a supercharged 400ci Chevrolet V8. Induction is through dual Holley carburetors, and the engine is backed by a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. The car rides on a transverse leaf spring up front and coil springs out back along with rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, and Rocket Racing 15” alloy wheels with big-and-littles. Inside, two-tone bucket seats are joined by a WELD Racing steering wheel, a Lokar shifter, an engine-turned dashboard fascia, an overhead console, and a Pioneer CD head unit. This Chevrolet hot rod is now offered with a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1931 Chevrolet.
The steel bodywork is finished in purple with multicolor pinstriping, and details include a roll-down rear window, a black roof covering, chrome headlight buckets, tinted glass, blue-dot taillights, and dual exhaust outlets. Dings in the radiator, paint chips, and other flaws around the car can be viewed in the gallery.
The front Rocket Racing 15” alloy wheels are wrapped in 26×6.00” Mickey Thompson tires, while 12.00” Radir Dragster slicks with whitewall inserts are mounted out back. The chassis features hairpins radius rods all around, rack-and-pinion steering, a drop axle with a transverse leaf spring, and a live rear axle with coil springs and a double-bend Panhard bar. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in gray with purple inserts, and gray carpets line the floor. Additional appointments include billet hardware, a Lokar shifter, an engine-turned dashboard fascia, an overhead console, and a Pioneer CD head unit. The seller notes that the power functions for the seats are not wired in.
The WELD Racing steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column and sits ahead of Mallory instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure and amperage. They are joined by AutoMeter gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 3,500 miles.
An aluminum box in the trunk houses the battery.
Around 2019, the 400ci Chevrolet V8 was installed at Wicked Kool Rides in Keenesburg, Colorado, and it is equipped with a Weiand supercharger, dual Holley carburetors, and Lake-style exhaust headers with capped cutouts. The seller states that recent work has included rebuilding the carburetors, replacing the spark plugs, and changing the oil.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear end.
The car is titled using the Colorado Assigned Identification Number ID43022COLO as a 1931 Chevrolet 5WN.
